Like my day was literally... I'd ride the buses overnight in San Diego. They have 24 hour transit. So I'd ride the bus overnight. Then they'd kick me off at six in the morning. And then I would go looking around for nickels, pennies, quarters, change, whatever I could find along the beaches. And then I would take that and I'd go get a sausage McMuffin with egg and an orange juice.

Then I'd spend the rest of the day looking for nickels, dimes and quarters so that I could get back on the bus at six the next morning. And I would just do it over and over and over again. And so homelessness became hopelessness. Hopelessness became a real deep depression. Deep depression became suicidal thoughts. Suicidal thoughts ultimately led to me attempting to take my own life.

I tried to drown myself in the Pacific Ocean just outside of La Jolla, California. Luckily, I was unsuccessful at that, clearly, or I wouldn't be here with you today. And it was in that moment when I was laying on the beach after just attempting to take my own life. I was laying on the beach and I heard something.

audibly i heard these words i heard you take yourself wherever you go which that's a phrase that an old mentor of mine used to tell me all the time when i was 20 years old he used to say you take yourself wherever you go and i never really knew what that meant like what does that mean and so i started to really think about it and i realized heather that i had been in different cities

around different people, like all these different environments were always changing. The people around me, the locations around me, the activities around me, all of that was changing, but the result was always the same. It would always end up not good, right? Me not moving forward. And so I looked in that moment and I realized I'm the only constant.

I'm the only thing that's consistently in all of these environments is it's me. Right. And so that just opened up this door. Like I was like, oh, wow, wait a minute. I'm the catalyst of everything bad in my life. Everything that's ever gone wrong. I'm the catalyst for that. And being an inquisitive person, as soon as I had that thought, I immediately thought, well, wait a minute.

If I'm the catalyst for everything bad in my life, does that mean I can be the catalyst for everything good? And so I started on this journey of self-discovery. I had to figure out what is this ability that we have to create our lives? What is that? Where does that come from? And anytime you want to figure out where something comes from, you have to kind of go to the source.
